An alloy with a chemical composition of Ti-45Al-5V (at.%) was synthesized by mechanical alloying in a Szegvari-type attritor from elemental powders of high purity. Before compaction, the powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning as well as transmission electron microscopy. The compaction of powders was carried out by hot isostatic pressing and hot isostatic extrusion. The resulting material was subjected to microstructural and mechanical characterization. The microstructure investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy supplemented by X-ray diffraction revealed that the bulk material was composed of a mixture of TiAl- and Ti(3)Al-based phases, however, the typical lamellar microstructure for such alloys was not observed. The materials exhibited exceptionally high yield strength together with satisfactory ductility and fracture toughness. The high strength was unequivocally due to grain refinement and the presence of oxide dispersoid.

Silicon germanium alloy materials have promising potential applications in the optoelectronic and photovoltaic industries due to their good electronic properties. However, due to the inherent brittleness of semiconductor materials, they are prone to rupturing under harsh working environments, such as high stress or high temperature. Here, we conducted a systematic search for silicon germanium alloy structures using a random sampling strategy, in combination with group theory and graph theory (RG), and 12 stable SiGe structures in 2-8 stacking orders were predicted.

Titanium alloy is known for its low thermal conductivity, small elastic modulus, and propensity for work hardening, posing challenges in predicting surface quality post high-speed milling. Since surface quality significantly influences wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance of parts, optimizing milling parameters becomes crucial for enhancing service performance. This paper proposes a milling parameter optimization method utilizing the snake algorithm with multi-strategy fusion to improve surface quality.

The influence of varying hydrogen content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of the metastable β titanium alloy TB8 after hydrogen charging has been investigated in this study. Several characterization methods, including optical microscopy (OM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were employed to comprehensively analyze the alloy. The results show that with the addition of hydrogen, hydrogen mainly accumulated at grain boundaries in the form of hydrides.
